The ASUS Eee PC family recently expanded even further with
the addition of the $299 2G Surf model. Newegg now currently lists ASUS Eee PC
2G which is available in Galaxy
Black, Blush
Pink, Sky Blue
and Lush
Green.

The Eee PC 2G Surf, as its name implies, only comes with a
2GB solid-state drive (SSD). The device also comes with 512MB of DDR2 memory
and the 4G Surf's smaller 4-cell 4400 mAh battery (2.8 hours).

ASUS first announced the Eee PC with a $199 price tag. When
the Eee PC 4G first appeared online, however, the retail price was $399. Over
the past few months, ASUS has expanded the family to include the $349
Eee PC 4G Surf and the $499
Eee PC 8G.

The only sticking point that may remain for potential
customers with the Eee PC 2G Surf is the meager 2GB SSD. While 2GB is
definitely not a lot of space to work with, a $30 8GB
SDHC card could go a long way to suppress any concerns over running out of
storage space.
